As planned, their wedding is next month. Although Auryn initially refused because marriage needs a lot of preparation, but because of Celo's convincing speech also the look of the woman's heart is Auryn according to it.
"I'm sorry Mommy, for being too presumptuous to take care of everything. Actually Mommy's intentions are good." Straight Archie, feeling guilty for the decision of his parents and family. Now they're in Archie's car, which will take Auryn home.
"It's okay, all mothers want the best for their children. Including my mother." Lirih Auryn who is getting slower at the end of the sentence.
"Yes." Yeah." It was just that short answer that Archie gave.
"Did you miss your mother?" Not wanting the atmosphere to be silent, Archie opened his voice with questions that might touch.
"Always Ar. We lived together, and we always spent time together without any delay. I've filled my heart and my life." Auryn's voice is getting quieter.
"You can think of Mommy as your Mother's replacement because to make her your Mother is impossible because everyone is different." Archie's words successfully invited auryn to look at him.
Dissolved into a conversation that washed away Auryn's feelings, it did not feel Archie stopped his car on the beach. The same beach that Auryn took to.
"Why are we here Ar? It's already night." Auryn only realized when he got out of the car.
"You remember that day I told you to build a family here? That night, Mommy gave me the option to marry you." Archie opens the story.
"….."
"I don't know what our marriage will be like, which is for sure I only want to get married once in a lifetime like Dadd and Momm. After thinking again there is no harm in us giving a chance to our marriage later. Do you want to do it with me?" Archie's words stunned Auryn.
"That…"
"I know we don't love each other, but there's no harm in trying. We try to build a normal household like any other household. And this is where we're gonna build it together." The man's expression sounded sincere in Auryn's ears. His feelings can not be dammed anymore, Auryn hugged Archie. His height which was only as much as the man's shoulder made him have to tiptoe because his position grabbed the man's neck.
"Thank you Ar." Auryn Whispe.
But not inwardly, Auryn realizes that she has a taste for Archie even more, she loves the man who will soon be her husband.
"I love you Ar, for now let it be like this until you love me too." Auryn's inner voice screamed wanting to call but didn't, as he was afraid that Archie would reject him.

It doesn't feel like a week away from their wedding but Auryn is still working as usual while Archie the man has been staying two weeks in C city to take care of his new hotel. As Celo said, they do not need to take part in the wedding preparation, they just need to choose the design of the invitation, dress, and the rest of the ring does not.
"How are you preparing for your wedding?" Kate asked at lunch. Yes, the two girls always take the time to have lunch together if Kate doesn't have any outside needs.
"Don't know brother, all Mommy Celo takes care of." Auryn.
"May all go well until the wedding day and I hope you're always happy Ryn." Kate clasped Auryn's hand tightly, implied worry in her sharp eye bead.
"No need not worry, we've discussed this before." Auryn calms Kate.
"All right," they resumed their lunch.
The end of the lunch hour the two friendly girls continued their respective work. Just heading for the elevator to the floor where Auryn is on duty, the girl is surprised by the presence of Cerry who wants to see him.
"It just so happens that we meet here, can talk to Miss Auryn for a minute." Pinta Cerry with its sharp highlight.
"All right, let's just talk there." Point Auryn towards the hotel's side terrace.
"Miss Cerry want to order something?" Auryn is as friendly as ever.
"Don't talk trite Miss, I'm here to warn you. While there is still time you should cancel your wedding. If you want to find a rich husband, there are still many men out there do not use Archie. He's too good to be the target of your greed Miss!" The ketus sentence slid free from the thick lips of Cerry.
"….." Auryn was just speechless, the girl was still digesting what answer he was going to say.
"Sorry Miss, but you've misjudged me. If all I want is money, as you say, there are still a lot of rich men out there who are certainly more everything than Archie. But marriage is not just a matter of Miss, but a two-sided agreement to build a life commitment in the future, and we already have that." Auren's stark answer leaves Cerry choked.
If Cerry is able to compare themselves, then he really loses. Auryn is a smart and mature-thinking girl, while Cerry is just a spoiled girl who always supported her parents.
"Is there anything else you need to tell Miss? If not, I'm sorry to continue my work." Auryn smiled as he walked away leaving Cerry who was still silent in his place.
"Shit!! How dare that lowly woman advise me! Let's see how your marriage ends. You'll regret Ar." A cynical smile was clearly on the face of Eric and Audrey's daughter.
^^^^
"Jeez Ar!! You surprised me." Auryn screeched as a pair of hands wrapped around her small waist, the girl who was too engrossed in her work to the point of not being aware of her future husband's arrival.
"You don't miss me heum?" Whispering Archie, the man slammed his head into the recess of Auryn's neck. Lightly Auryn wriggled with curiosity because of the man's actions.
"Ar.remove.amused.." Auryn's hand tried to keep Archie's head away from there because it was really amused but failed, failed, maybe because the fine hairs have begun to grow densely around the chin and jaw of the man.
"What's ticklish, baby?" Instead of staying away, Archie even more swiping his chin there.
"Arr.." cried Auryn again.
"Jawab first, what amused heum.." Archie getting excited seducing his future wife.
"Your chin is Ar, you haven't shaved." Their position was now facing each other after Archie turned the girl in front of him.
"Help me shave." Her request.
And here they are now, Auryn sitting on the sink with his left hand holding a small towel while his right hand held a razor. As Archie thought, the man stood right in front of him.
"Tonight accompany me to sleep here, tomorrow morning we have to fit clothes, buy rings also choose invitations. We're busy tomorrow." The man's thick body complained.
"You know baby, my ears are numb because Mommy keeps on slipping." Archie laughed to himself given his mother's insistence, but not Auryn the girl was just quietly busy with her own world.
"Auryn..You hear me?" Call Archie, but not heard.
"Argh.." choked Archie like a man complaining of pain.
"What's Ar? Are you hurt?" Auryn examined the man's face fearfully as he hurt him.
"I'm okay, why are you? What's the matter heum?" Archie pulls Auryn closer to his body.
"Nothing, it's just that I'm thinking." Tukas Auryn sounded doubtful.
"What?" Ask Archie to know.
"Are you sure you're gonna marry me?" When their wedding is only a week away, Auryn looks doubtful.
"Why? Is anyone bothering you?" Suspicious Archie.
"No. No, I'm just afraid you'll be embarrassed later." Auryn said on the grounds of his cliche.
"We've already discussed this, don't think about the opinions of others because we're going to live it." The girl's thick black hair.
"It's over, we'd better get some sleep now." Without warning, Archie held Auryn ala koala towards their bed.
"Ar..lepass.." Auryn's shriek echoes deafeningly to anyone who hears it.
One thing that I understand and see from people who have families out there is marriage is not just a matter, just a matter, but the agreement of two parties to build a commitment to life in the future so that it creates harmony and becomes happiness. __areumkang__
